  • As a marketer, I promise to respect my designers

    These days, I’ve been doing a fair amount of work directly with the designers at work. I’m also sitting directly next to them (marketing and design together – whoddathunkit?) so I’m getting a lot more honesty as to what guidelines…

  • Blogging turns on the red light

    In a vaguely insane post-holiday attempt to catch up with all the new stuff in the RSS feeds I read regularly[1], I came across this article by Andy Beal, from Web Pro News, announcing the launch of PayPerPost.com. The basic…

  • You can't buy that kind of advertising

    YouTube‘s been the breeding ground of many 15-seconds-of-fame videos. Some were just bizarre, some were very funny, and others, well… the vast majority, are just dull and you might as well watch paint dry. It’s also home to the best…

  • Damn, they beat us to it!

    I used to go on to my coworkers about my great advertising ideas, a few of which involved paint, oversized ads and Google Earth (usually after a few pints, they seemed GREAT!) But it looks like Maxim magasine has beat…

  • Just bloody stupid!

    Mr. Patto highlights the fact that Australia’s new tourism commercial, which has the tag-line “So where the bloody hell are you?”, has so far been modified, restricted or banned in the UK, Canada and now Japan. Britain raised the issue…
